Springer e.book Collection Offer
The publisher has provided more flexible terms for their
current e.book offer to SUNY. This is specific to SUNY
institutions not in the university center or health
science center sectors. The publisher's offer is
available in the OLIS Documents area.

Alumni access to SUNYConnect databases?
SUNY alumni access to two EBSCO databases (Academic Search
Alumni Edition and Business Source Alumni Edition) is now
available. If you have not already done, please let OLIS
know about your campus' plans in regards to this potential
new service for your alumni.

Union Catalog
At the present, the SUNY Union Catalog is running on
unsupported versions of Aleph, OS, and Oracle. SUNY
is the only Ex Libris customer that has this type of
union catalog configuration. Over the past year, the
OLIS staff has informally reviewed various options to
better understand what products are on the market.
Rather than upgrade to the next version of Aleph, OLIS
asked for input from SAC on their next step.

On motion made by Cristina, seconded by Lynne and
carried, it was agreed that the OLIS staff will explore
several different options to replace the Union Catalog.
